The pair were among a host of big names at the launch of the Nike Mercurial football boot at the Printworks in the capital on Wednesday night.

Rashford's team-mate, Alexis Sanchez , was also present along with Chelsea talisman Eden Hazard and new Arsenal signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to mark the 20th anniversary of Nike's most iconic boot.

The players all turned up in customised super cars to the event but that was not the most eye-catching moment of the night as Rashford renewed acquaintances with Neymar following their previous chat ahead of England's friendly with Brazil in November.

The pair posed for a photo together, with the PSG superstar pointing to the Wythenshawe lad, which got United fans a little excited on social media.

Might Mourinho need a forward after all?

'Confirmed'

The real superstar

United have previously looked at signing Neymar, but Jose Mourinho has already ruled out adding another forward to his ranks after landing Sanchez.

"The objective is now that we have only one No.9 - apart from Zlatan and let’s forget about Zlatan for the moment," he said last week. "We have only one no.9 and by having only one No.9, now we have more No.9s.

"We have Alexis, Lukaku, Martial, Rashford. Rashford can play on the left and the right, Alexis is exactly the same. All of them apart from Lukaku can play from behind as the second striker that’s why I say that it’s bad for you because you like to have things to write and speculate, especially in the summer.

Two of South America's finest!

"But I don’t want attacking players so don’t speak about attacking players that are coming here because nobody is coming here. We have Mata, Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Alexis, I don’t want attacking players, speculation in the summer you have to go to other areas, attacking players I am really happy.

"We have to improve not in the quality of the players. We have to improve in the dynamic in the team, and in the efficiency because even today it is a game to score more than two."
